…she just likes to hear herself write

I can see clearly now…

I have many of the typical fears too – heights, the ocean (sharks, jellyfish, stingray & whatever else is floating in that water), snakes, spiders, losing one of my kids in a public area, etc.

I’ve always thought I’d go blind one day. I don’t really have anything to base this little premonition on. I wear glasses, but my vision isn’t horrible. I guess it’s just one of the quirky things about me.

Ever wake up & forget where you are?

When I woke up this morning, my vision was kinda blurry. But as it cleared, I realized that all I could see was white. I blinked a couple of times, but nothing changed – everything was still white. I started to panic because I seriously thought I had gone blind! But, at the same time I had this sick little “I was right! I knew I’d go blind!” moment. So while my brain was still trying to process this tragic development, and just before I called out to Adam to say ‘I told you so!’, my eyes shifted up to see Ariel and Cinderella looking back at me. I thought, “Should I say something?” But that would have been ridiculous, right?

Then, the haze of sleep started to wear off and I began to think clearly again. Looking around, I remembered that I was in the guest room where all of the walls are stark white with the exception of a few Disney cutouts that Ava had hung on the wall. The boys had fallen asleep in our bed, and it was easier for us to relocate as a result.

So, tomorrow morning if I wake up & think I’m in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, I’ll add a new fear to my list…
